I for one, thank you..   I can say that I'm a flow "Laser Jock" by day but I
am also an amateur astronomer by night and I've seen these green pointers in
action, and they are wonderful when teaching or educating a group.

What is nice is that the price looks like it is on its way down as last I
checked these things were running about $195 about 6 months ago.   I still
can't explain the price difference, presuming all the $$ is in the diode?
I mean, now a days, red ones are given out by companies...

Many thanks for posting this...
